Ok without sounding too 'new', I've done simple grabs of tons of
different informational sites and most of the time it was fuggly code
of page dumps with a ton of translations and parsing. Is this specific
to msnbc? I wish they'd share their *secret* with other sites that
offer information, then they wouldn't have to change their format
every 2 weeks becasue of the load on their machines.   :\
